About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"mom, when you get old will you cut your hair short like a grandma?"

ABOUT ME

I used to have opinions about things but I recently found out that that is silly. but I guess that's just my opinion.

A few years ago I rode my brand new, used 1982 Honda Nighthawk across the great nation of the United states of America... what a trip it surely was.

It turns out that I am really happy.

I sound like a corny old man when I try to describe myself...

PHILOSOPHY

Binker's brave as lions when we're running in the park;
Binker's brave as tigers when we're lying in the dark;
Binker's brave as elephants. He never, never cries...
Except (like other people) when the soap gets in his eyes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Its my favorite thing that i am a part of. I love it. We all have friends in any city we go to. That is at least as liberating as boxer-briefs.

Interests


I like people, bad stories, listening... I like to dance- really to anything but mostly mediocre disco and the Ramones- I can shake it all night. I like to travel, make pancakes, eat chocolate, play soccer, play dodgeball, play basketball, run, Backgammon, I have a disgustingly large love for children. It started a few years ago and has not stopped yet. I am completely baby-crazy and I can't wait to have my own some day. I like walking but only in unfamiliar places. I like to swim but am awful at it. Someday soon I am going to start a T Rex cover band. I like shaving but don't have to very often. I like trees so big they blow your mind. I like being read to-especially Dr. Seus... butchering the Spanish language. eating guacamole. eating in general. my mom's cookies. my cookies. your cookies. cookies. I am obsessed with the American Diner. Memphis, Nearly everywhere that i go. Mexico. Climbing mountains. New York Pizza. oh and I like you.

Music, Movies, and Books

Bruce Springsteen and Pitbull

I like mediocre B movies. Anything with Bruce Campbell, The Warriors (my favorite), Santo vs the vampire women, Adam West Batman series, How high, Purple Rain, Women on the verge of a nervous breakdown. The hustler, The Red Shoes, Nights of Cabiria... Movies are good but I would probably rather just watch the Twilight Zone.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I built a giant nest out of leaves with a 7 year old named Anjuli. It is gone now but she is not. neither am I.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a lot of things that you shouldn't do while traveling across America. Why it is both the greatest and worst country in the world. And which states have the best diners.
